[cid:image001.jpg@01DBDC52.405A2480] Dear CAS Graduate Students, We hope you are having a restful and productive start to the summer. We are very pleased and excited to announce the call for applications for the 2025 CAS Graduate Student Writing Retreat, September 10-13, 2025<https://cas.unl.edu/cas-graduate-student-writing-retreat >. The writing retreat is a great opportunity for first-year graduate students as well as for advanced students in both M.A. and Ph.D. programs. The goals are to help students develop effective strategies for writing practice and to encourage graduate students across disciplines to learn from one another in a community of writers. The retreat will once again be held at the university's Cedar Point Biological Station <https://cedarpoint.unl.edu/ > near Ogallala. This is a beautiful location ideal for concentrated work. Meals will be provided, and the kitchen service can make basic accommodations for dietary restrictions. For more information about the facilities, see https://cedarpoint.unl.edu/home/packing-list/ . The recreation suggestions are completely optional. * All lodging, meals, and other accommodations will be provided by the College of Arts and Sciences. * The faculty facilitators are Kristi Montooth (School of Biological Sciences), Max Mueller (Classics & Religious Studies), and incoming Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education Eve Brank (Psychology and Director for the Center on Children, Families, and the Law). More information and the application can be found here: https://cas.unl.edu/cas-graduate-student-writing-retreat Past participants' feedback included: "More than anything, it took me out of my routine and rekindled my passion for my projects." "This retreat was helpful for my writing because it allowed me the chance to experiment and implement new techniques in my writing. I learned from the faculty members and also from other participants. I discovered new tools and made friends in various departments who helped me in refining my approach and ability to communicate the science that I do." "The retreat provided much needed structure and time away from my regular distractions. The collaborative nature also gave me plenty of opportunities to talk to people about my project, forcing me to think through it." "I outlined three chapters of my dissertation and wrote four pages of actual text." "Contextualizing the writing process in a broad range of fields and goals helped me see the 'process' separate from my own project- which made me feel like my 'writing,' in total, depends less on the success of any one project and more on the practice I develop." If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. With best wishes, Eve Brank, Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education, Psychology and Law Kristi Montooth, Professor, School of Biological Sciences Max Mueller, Associate Professor, Classics and Religious Studies
